CHRISTMAS HANGING DECORATION STRUCTURE
A Christmas hanging decoration structure made of a pine cone and integrated with a decorating cover maintains the shape of a pine cone, enhances the overall texture, and provides the function of a bell. The structure includes an arc decorating cover slightly larger than the head of the pine cone. The decorating cover has scale-lines similar to bug scales of the pine cone. The internal bottom edge of the decorating cover is adhered to the head of the pine cone by glue, or a bottom chassis is connected to the decorating cover and a bead to form a bell. The head of the pine cone is adhered onto the bottom chassis to form a pine cone series of Christmas hanging decoration. The invention not only uses the decorating cover to protect the pine cone and prevent the scales from loosened, but also enhances the overall aesthetic appearance and value.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to an improved Christmas hanging decoration structure, and mainly adopts a design of Christmas hanging decoration made of a pine cone and includes a decorating cover glued onto a head of the pine cone for maintaining an overall shape of a pine cone and improving artistic appearance and texture of the Christmas hanging decoration structure. The decorating cover can be made with the shape of a bell and skillfully integrated with the pine cone hanging decoration.
2. Description of the Related Art
Christmas is a very important festival at the end of each year, and a large quantity of pine cones fall down from pine trees in this season. To fit the atmosphere of the festival and the decoration requirement of a Christmas tree and a home, pine cones are picked directly and painted with different colors and then hung on a Christmas tree or a household decoration item for the decoration purpose, in addition to the function as a hanging decoration in form of bells and artificial decorations, so that the decoration can show the warm atmosphere of the festival.
In present existing pine cone series of Christmas hanging decorations, pine cones are generally painted with different colors such as gold, silver, red and green, etc and then a hanging ring or a hanging hook is installed at the head of each pine cone to make a pine cone hanging decoration in a natural shape. This type of pine cone hanging decorations can be hung to create Christmas warm and joyful atmosphere.
However, this type of pine cone hanging decorations still has the following problems. Since mature pine cones fall down from pine trees, they are dried and dehydrated to obtain their desired shape. If the pine cones are not processed properly, they will fall apart, fall down or deform if the pine cones are collided by accident, and thus the overall stylish appearance and value of the Christmas hanging decoration will be affected adversely.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONIn view of the shortcomings of the prior art Christmas hanging decoration made of pipe cones, the inventor of the present invention based on years of experience in the related industry to conduct extensive researches and experiments, and finally designed a Christmas hanging decoration structure in accordance with the present invention to overcome the shortcomings of the present invention.
The primary objective of the present invention is to provide a structural design of a Christmas hanging decoration in order to maintain the integrity of the pine cone structure, improve the artistic appearance and value of the Christmas hanging decoration, and provide a more stylish and practical Christmas hanging decoration.
Another objective of the present invention is to provide a structural design to skillfully integrate a bell structure with a pine cone, such that the Christmas hanging decoration further provides the sound effect of a bell and breaks through the structural limitations of present existing pine cone hanging decorations to improve market competitiveness, in addition to the basic hanging decoration function.
To achieve the foregoing objectives, the present invention provides a structural design that glues a decorating cover onto the head of a pine cone to maintain the shape of a pine cone, and scale-lines on the surface of the decorating cover can improve the overall stylish appearance and value of a pine cone hanging decoration structure. If needed, the decorating cover can be made into a bell shape, such that the bell can be integrated skillfully into the pine cone hanging decoration.
The structural assembly, technical measures and performance of the present invention will become apparent by the detailed description of preferred embodiments accompanied with related drawings as follows:

Referring to
From the description above, the structural design of the present invention adopts a decorating cover for covering and positioning the head of the pine cone, so that the structure of scales of the pine cone can be securely maintained without having the risk of being loosened or falling out easily. With the scale-lines on the surface of the decorating cover, the hanging decoration improves its integrity, artistic appearance and value, and thus the invention can break through the simple traditional pine cone hanging decoration structure.
In summation of the description above, the improved pine cone series Christmas hanging decoration structure in accordance with the invention obviously has broken through the simple pine cone form of existing pine cone hanging decorations and further uses a decorating cover to go with the pine cone to produce a Christmas hanging decoration with a more stylish appearance and a better texture. Therefore, the invention is definitely in compliance with the requirements of patent application, and thus duly filed for patent application.
